Carli Lloyd wants to start, but she wants another FIFAWWC title even more, nrarmour writes.
Published 4:40 PM EDT Jun 14, 2019She’s worked her butt off for the better part of 20 years, never once dogging it at a training session and spending countless more hours working on her own. If not for her, the U.S. women wouldn’t have gold medals from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, and it was her hat trick that sparked the American romp to the World Cup title in 2015.
Lloyd might not be happy with her"super sub" role, but she wants a second World Cup title even more than she wants to start. And she’ll do whatever coach Jill Ellis asks in order to get it.“I haven’t sat here and pouted around and been a horrible teammate,” Lloyd said. “I’ve showed up every single day at training and been the hardest-working player I can possibly be and been respectful of that decision.
Shannon Boxx played just 16 minutes in 2015, as did Christie Rampone. Abby Wambach played in all seven games, but started only three. In the final three games, soccer’s all-time leading scorer did not come on until the 79th minute or later.
